Chapter 35 Not an Hour
Li Ziyu took over her words, "We can only help you if you are willing to cooperate. If you continue to be like before, no one can help you."
It's not that they are unwilling, but they have to rely on evidence for everything they do. Without evidence, they cannot act on their own.
Hu Taoqing wiped her face and said, "Ten years ago, after I finished my statement at the police station, I went out to take out the trash at night and was kidnapped by two men."
"When I opened my eyes again, I was taken to a basement and was locked up there for ten years. Until yesterday, they told me that I had a chance to get out."
"Let me turn myself in and say I was the murderer, or they will blow up my daughter."
Li Ziyu pressed the issue, "Did you see clearly what those people looked like? Or remember where you were imprisoned?"
An organization that can do this must have a very complete system and very strong means.
Hu Taoqing shook his head. "The room they locked me in had a very thick iron door and the only window was at the bottom of the door. I couldn't see them clearly."
"When they took me away, they gave me sleeping pills. When I opened my eyes again today, I was already on the street."
Lu Bai felt a little disappointed, but she had more important things to do now. "You said explosion, did you really see them do it?"
Hu Taoqing still shook her head, but this time she said with certainty, "People like them, what wouldn't they dare to do, even murder and arson?"
But Lu Bai was a little hesitant.
Li Ziyu understood her hesitation and knew that guesses could not be used as evidence, especially when it happened in middle school.
If the explosion-proof team is deployed, there will be a huge scene, and the impact on society will be enormous.
If the bomb is really defused, there will be an explanation in the game.
If not...
Hu Taoqing looked at their reactions and panicked for a moment, "You have to believe me! I'm not lying! Go quickly!"
Lu Bai raised his hand towards her and said, "We have already let them go. Don't get excited. Recall the case from that year again."
She winked at Li Ziyu, and the two of them left the interrogation room together.
Li Ziyu stared, "For this matter, the director will at most send someone who handles serious cases."
Lu Bai was also in a dilemma. She was good at carrying out missions to arrest people, but she was completely clueless about defusing bombs.
She asked tentatively: "Zi Yu, can you defuse a bomb?"
Li Ziyu took a deep breath and suppressed the silence in his heart, "What do you think..."
Zhang Hai has already brought the director's instructions, and he has indeed asked those involved in serious cases to go in for investigation first.
But it would take much longer than an hour to check a middle school.
The three men squatted at the door of the interrogation room, all looking embarrassed.
Zhang Hai spoke first, "I'll go find my colleagues from the explosion-proof team who are on vacation and go with us secretly."
Lu Bai narrowed his eyes. "Then the four of us search the entire school? An hour?"
Li Ziyu stood up and said, "Is there any other way? Instead of wasting time, why not do something we can do?"
The three of them called the colleague that Zhang Hai knew, and when the four of them arrived at the school, the person involved in the serious case had already arrived.
Lu Bai and Li Ziyu were lying on the wall like geckos.
Lu Bai narrowed his eyes, "It's hard to talk to those people involved in serious cases. Don't let them see you. Go and complain to the director."
Zhang Hai, along with the bomb disposal personnel, also followed their example and crouched on the wall like a gecko.
Zhang Hai nodded, "So we have to go in quietly and not let them know."
Five minutes later, the perpetrators of the serious crime walked into the teaching building.
The four of them also slowly walked to the gate.
The security guard stopped them and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Bai took out his ID and said, "Police, I'm with them."
After the security guard confirmed their ID, he let them go, but he muttered, "Why are there so many police officers today? Some were here this morning too."
Li Ziyu stopped and asked, "You mean, the police came this morning as well?"
The security guard nodded. "Yes, he came this morning and said he was looking for someone. He acted mysterious and looked quite fierce, but I thought he was trying to intimidate criminals, so I didn't think much of it."
Lu Bai thought about it carefully and realized that police officers would rarely go into schools alone to arrest people unless it was a special operation.
She asked, "What are his characteristics? Have you seen his ID?"
The security guard didn't think for long. He took out the record book and said, "He was carrying a black bag. I didn't see his ID because he was wearing a police uniform, but I asked him to register."
Lu Bai looked at the name in the notebook and frowned. Isn't that her name?
It seems that the people who came here this morning are the ones from the organization that Hu Taoqing mentioned.
Lu Bai said in a deep voice, "Did you see where he went?"
The security guard pointed in a direction and said, "It should be Building 2."
Lu Bai waved at them and ran quickly in the direction the security guard pointed.
The bomb was in Building 2.
She ran while calling the director. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. She cursed.
Building No. 2 is not big and is specially prepared for the third-year junior high school students. The high school entrance examination is of paramount importance, so the school specially allocated the quiet Building No. 2 to the third-year junior high school students.
Li Ziyu pointed to the top floor and said, "The structure of the building here will cause the largest collapse if the explosion is carried out from the top floor."
They ran towards the top floor. Although the organization could find out which school Hu Taoqing's daughter was attending, it was difficult for them to get into the school.
So Li Ziyu concluded that they didn't know which class her daughter was in, and if they bombed the building, the whole building would be destroyed.
In the distribution room on the top floor, the door lock showed obvious signs of having been pried open, and the monitoring line was also connected to a video recorder that had been prepared long ago.
It seems that Li Ziyu's judgment was correct.
Lu Bai opened the door of the distribution room and saw a red light flashing in the darkness.
Which bomb?
The bomb disposal officer rushed to the bomb and took a deep breath. His voice was heard by everyone, "It's not an hour, it's two minutes."
Two minutes to dismantle a bomb like this without any professional equipment...
Lu Bai pursed her lips and glanced at Li Ziyu, who was about to walk inside.
She stopped Li Ziyu and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Li Ziyu hesitated and said, "I'll go and help."
[Take the bomb to another place. Two minutes is enough for me to take it to the playground and at least minimize casualties.]
Lu Bai used her fingers to push Li Ziyu out of the room fiercely, "Get out."
She turned to look at the other two people in the switch room, "Get out!"
She is the captain of the criminal police team, so even if they have to carry a bomb out, she will go.
Zhang Hai shook his head, "Two minutes, there's still a chance."
Lu Bai closed the door. In the darkness, she pulled Zhang Hai over and whispered in his ear, "Help me take good care of her and ensure her safety."
